Personal Narrative: My Interest In Criminal Justice

139 Words1 Page

When I was younger, my mother had a series of careers that were in the field of Criminal Justice. It is from her that I got my interest in criminal law, though I didn 't quite want any of the jobs she had done (jail guard, corrections officer, fugitive transport) and decide that being a lawyer that best suited me and I had become very passionate about this career. Another reason I had gained an interest in this field is because my older brother has been in trouble with the law as a result of an addiction and this was yet another thing I had grown up with. These two influences have given me my interest and passion in criminal justice and a sense of justice, all of which I plan on bringing with me into my education and career.

    I have always had an interest in the criminal justice field, but my greatest influence was in the eighth grade when a police officer, Michael Owens, gave me my first ever West Virginia Legal Codes book. By giving me this book, he influenced me a lot. He showed me that I could do anything I set my mind and that he believed in me, just by giving me a simple book. Since then, I have committed to my decision of becoming a lawyer and is why I now take Criminal Justice courses at my local technical school.

  • Essay On Criminal Justice And Racial Stereotyping

    1487 Words  | 6 Pages

    Before choosing criminal justice as my major, I wanted to be an art major. The dream was to work as a comic book artist, but I soon realized that it was virtually impossible for me to achieve that dream. Eventually, I became interested in the criminal justice system and all of the aspects that exist in the system, specifically the court aspect. When I told my family that I wanted to be a criminal justice major, my father told me outright that I could not be a police officer or work in corrections, so law school was the only option, but I morphed that expectation into my own with the desire to become a civil rights attorney. Moreover, I have always been interested in politics and political movements that involved civil rights and human rights.

    Living during this period, it seemed like the growth of prisons were becoming a new way of life in America. It seemed like more people were being incarcerated for no reason. I know that because, even my own father was incarcerated because he was framed for a crime he didn’t commit. It was hard for me growing up to understand the idea that my father was not going to be in my life until I was about 16 years old. He went to jail when I was about three, so that was a total of 13 years that my father had to miss of my childhood.
